Interior Design/Decor

The 21st century has brought glamor - and her sisters, decoration and ornamentation - back into home design news. Today's most cutting-edge homes embrace design of every kind from every corner of the globe. It's a marriage of disparate styles that finds no contradiction. Glamor is in vogue in homes that are castles (literally) and in one-bedroom rentals at the fringes of downtowns. Looking at homes recently featured in "Metropolitan Home", "Glamor"; "Making It Modern" reconsiders them through the following sections: concepts: looks at the defining general notions of Modern Glamor, such as sheen and scale; objects: examines elements -of home decoration which are inherently glamorous; and, rooms: tours homes where everything comes glamorously together. With a directory of the designers, some of the best in the business, and a list of resources for available products, "Glamor Making it Modern" is inspirational and absolutely accessible.
